Great Christmas gifts that give life

News

WaterAid is thrilled to have launched a brand new online shop (www.wateraidgifts.org.au) full of water-giving, life-saving ways to transform lives with your gift.

Just in time for Christmas you can buy water, toilet and hygiene themed gifts which help support some of the world’s poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene.

Do you have a loo loving friend or one that likes soap operas or to make a splash? If so, there are plenty of fun gift card options.

Cards start at $13 for “perfect pipes” to pipe water to a village. Or give someone who is “into plumbing” a water system toolkit for $50, provide “water works” to train a woman to maintain a village water supply for $100 or say “tanks a lot” for $140 to help buy a water tank.

“We are excited about our brand new Gifts for Life online shop which provides great gifts that can help save lives. With Christmas coming up you can select gifts for your family and friends such as a tap or toolkit, and your donation will help support a range of WaterAid projects that give the world’s poorest people safe water, sanitation and hygiene,” said WaterAid Australia Chief Executive Paul Nichols.

It’s easy. Just go to www.wateraidgifts.org.au and select gifts your family and friends will love. Your friend or family member will receive an awesome gift card showing the gift you have purchased for them and how it’s helping save lives.
